The 50 best spots for soup in Paris

We had amazing food here. Found this place without plan or reservation, we actually stopped because we found something husband wanted to eat, frog legs. Food was brilliant, frog legs were a star of the meal. I had amazing pasta dish, ravioli Dauphine . We also tried 14hrs cooked ribs and some French chicken dish. I had wonderful and refreshing spritz Italicus. We even had a small sweet treat at the end of our meal. We didn't had space in our stomach for a dessert but we had to try that meringue bites we got. Very good restaurant with authentic French atmosphere.

Had a great time here. 5 of us have ordered variety of mains plus escargo and flog legs for entree. Very pretty atmosphere and our waiter was fantastic. He took photos of us in the end and gave lots of laughs! The signature desert (pig meringue) was so cute. We had a great time in this French bistro 🇫🇷✨👍.

While several people from my office were on business trip in Paris France, we had the most wonderful and amazing dinner at this fantastic restaurant. From the moment our large group arrived, we were treated in the most respectful and caring fashion. We were brought to their bar where we were all served some of the most amazing cocktails we have ever had. When we were finally seated on the outdoor patio for dinner, it was the most perfect setting. Our professional waiter was over the top amazing. And without disrespecting anyone, all of the staff at this restaurant were fantastic. We all had perhaps the best dinner we had during our entire business trip and if I am ever back in Paris, I will be sure to make a reservation and visit this fantastic restaurant once again. Thank you to everyone at Au Pied de Cochon for making our trip and even more wonderful experience for our group from Canada. Paul Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦

Made a reservation and was seated quickly. Ordered the French onion soup and fresh clams as an entree. The soup was great but the fresh clams were not so fresh. I mentioned it to our waiter and he dismissed my comments. The rest of our meal was mediocre, the gnocchi felt heavy but the fish was good. Not sure I need to come back next time unless it’s specifically for the soup.

Old school Paris. Really cute vibe. Service wasn’t great though we did have a second server who was very helpful once abandoned by our original waiter. Food was average sadly. Profiteroles were a highlight as well as the cute piggy meringues. Didn’t live up to the hype. We weren’t given bread until we asked and table next to us given it straight away with lovely butter. We got no butter either. Also we were charged for two items we didn’t have but only realised once we got back to our apartment.

We wanted some French onion soup, and this place popped up as the top rated place! It was so delicious. We got the escargo, French onion soup, halibut, goat cheese ravioli, and steak, which came with the most amazing fries. We even went back for dinner that same night. The burrata and foie gras were decadent. We will be coming back!!

This restaurant was a great place to eat. They have a diverse menu, excellent service and a delightful Parisian atmosphere. Their pricing is a bit on the high side, but we'll worth it. They have a fun, whimsical "pig" theme - they are everywhere!

We visited Bouillon Pigalle in Paris, a restaurant I had heard a lot about and had been looking forward to trying. I would highly recommend reserving in advance, as the place gets very busy and lively, especially during peak hours. For my meal, I opted for the Boeuf Bourguignon with lard fumé and coquillettes. Honestly, the dish felt quite basic. While the flavors were classic, the beef was a bit dry, and it didn’t have the richness I was expecting from such a famous dish. I also ordered the escargots, which were delicious and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. My friend went with the cuisse de poulet with sauce poulette and fries. The chicken was well-cooked, but the fries were just average, nothing special. I went in with high expectations due to all the hype surrounding the restaurant, but while the food was decent, it didn’t quite give me the “wow” factor I was hoping for. That said, the service was impeccable—the staff was extremely friendly and attentive, which made the overall experience very pleasant despite the food being a bit underwhelming. Another positive point is that the restaurant is really not expensive, especially considering the location in Paris and the quality of the ingredients. For anyone looking to enjoy a traditional Parisian meal without spending a fortune, Bouillon Pigalle offers good value for money. The atmosphere is lively and very Parisian, which adds to the charm. Overall, it’s a nice spot for a casual yet classic Parisian meal, particularly if you manage your expectations regarding the food. The combination of friendly service, reasonable prices, and a bustling environment makes it worth a visit, even if it doesn’t quite live up to the hype on the culinary side.

The food was a hit and miss. Most we ordered were good such as the seafood vol au vent, escargot and eggs with maroilles cream but the steak frites was terrible. It was extremely hard and rubbery, pls do not order that. No wonder I saw so many people ordering the pork shank with fries and that looked good! Place was very cute though, and the staff were helpful and nice. All in all an interesting Parisian experience, but I think once is enough for me!

*** Highlights: Cheap. Eat a lot. Booking RECOMMENDED! *** What we liked: Great menu, and it’s cheap! *** Recommended? Absolutely. Table for 3, entrees and mains as well as desserts, we paid 100€!

Packed, and Bustling Restaurant. Very Popular with tourists. There is usually a line to get in, which is always a good sign of awesomeness. However the food is Good, with the versions of the popular favorites, known for in france. For the money great bang for you buck. But If you want really good food, you may need to spend more.

Bouillon Pigalle is one of the best places in Paris to experience authentic French cuisine for an affordable price. The place is quite full and there’s a high chance that you need to stay in the queue. So it’s better to join very early or very late. We went for the dinner around 21:30. There was still the queue but was fast moving. We were inside the restaurant within 15 minutes. The food was good. I would give 7/10. Portions were huge at least for me. The restaurant is pretty loud, as there were around 150 people and tables are quite close to each other. It’s part of the experience and you are still able to talk comfortably with your partner or group. Bouillon Pigalle was one of a kind experience we had in our Paris trip.

I think if you go in with the right expectations this place is actually great, especially for the price. The fast paced, fully packed out, cheapness is all part of the experience… and the food is actually pretty good, though I’ve seen some mixed reviews. But you get what you pay for, it’s not gonna be mind blowing. Highly recommend making a reservation to avoid waiting in line. The pork shank was tasty and a good portion, the steak was cooked to a medium rare (though it was a tough cut) and the pepper sauce was really nice. Fries were standard. The Tarama was probably my favourite thing we tried, easily could have sat there all day eating it with bread. The crème brûlée was pretty on par for a decent dessert, and I was lucky that my French toast wasn’t too sweet.

An absolute must-visit in Paris! Lovely service, delicious traditional French food, and excellent wine. We had the onion soup, beef bourguignon, and an amazing dessert — everything was full of authentic flavor. The wine was great, plentiful, and surprisingly affordable. Highly recommend!

Firstly, all of the staff were incredibly nice and hospitable. I felt welcome and attended to throughout my dining experience. Unfortunately, the restaurant felt filled with tourists and the food was just okay. I was looking for more of an authentic French bistro and instead found myself in the middle of a Trip Advisor “go to” list. The meal was decent but overpriced and the wine list was extensive but missing some of the options. I just wish it were better.

My husband and I had a reservation for our last night in Paris and I’m so glad we went. I found my favorite French Onion Soup, and the server made great recommendations on the Chicken Fricassée and Steak in peppercorn sauce. Everything was so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to go back the next time we visit the city.

Michelin restaurant? I don’t think so. Good evening! The restaurant offers good cuisine, but the service needs improvement. The appetizers and main courses are tasty, but they don’t create a wow effect. There are issues with the service: they don’t clear the glasses, they don’t change the tablecloth for dessert—and in general, it’s shabby (for a restaurant with a high price tag and a Michelin star). They didn’t offer tea or coffee with dessert. After serving the dishes, they don’t say “enjoy your meal” to mark the end of the service and the start of the guests’ dining experience. If it were just an inexpensive restaurant, we would have given it a five. But this is Michelin, and that means reputation. We are very disappointed and do not recommend it.

The French onion soup was amazing. The sea bass, chicken pot and the steak were great entrees and the staff helped us find a wine to fit with our diverse courses form their extensive list!

Great place imho, nice staff and super awesome wine list! The steak tartare was perfect and nicely spiced up, probably one of the better ones I had in my life.

A rare gem of authentic French cuisine I’ve been dining at restaurants across France for decades, and La Poule au Pot is something truly special. This place has preserved an authenticity that’s nearly impossible to find today – the kind of honest, soulful French cooking I remember from 30-40 years ago when I was much younger. Everything here is about simplicity done right: exceptional quality ingredients, generous portions, and dishes prepared the way they should be. No pretense, no gimmicks – just real French food the way it was meant to be eaten. Located in the heart of Les Halles (once known as “the belly of Paris”), this restaurant is more than a meal – it’s a genuine taste of France’s culinary soul. If you want to experience truly authentic French cuisine in Paris, La Poule au Pot isn’t just recommended – it’s essential

Third visit during this trip. This time, the weather prompted the need for something really warm and I had to try the onion soup. Delicious and extremely hot, perfect for the day. My wife had the "POÊLÉE DE CÈPES À L’HUILE EN PERSILLADE, œuf mollet" which comes in a great presentation and the mushrooms and egg are delicious. We shared the "TOURNEDOS DE FILET DE BOEUF flambé au poivre" which were just the right sized portion to share. The "flambeing" imparts great flavor to the dish, not to mention the lightness of the pepper sauce. We accompanied the dish with spinach and paired the meal with a good Morgon wine.

Reservations are strongly encouraged. We arrived on a weekday afternoon and were lucky to snag the last available table. The group after us had to wait over 30 minutes for the next one. I ordered the onion soup and the restaurant’s specialty, coq au vin. It was my first time trying coq au vin, so with no reference point, I can only share my impression of it. It had a rich, savory flavor with deep notes of wine. The braised chicken was tender and practically fell apart. My friend ordered the salmon, which was also very delicious.

An absolutely incredible French restaurant — authentic, beautifully prepared dishes at truly decent prices. Everything feels simple, honest, and done with care, from the seasoning to the presentation. The service is impeccable; warm, attentive, and professional without ever being intrusive. It’s a rather small space, which makes it cozy but also means it can be a bit tricky to get a booking (and could use slightly better ventilation on busy nights). Still, it’s completely worth the effort. A real gem of a place, one of those rare spots that should definitely be on your list if you love genuine French cuisine.

This was our last meal in Paris before departing from our honeymoon and we could not be happier with how our trip ended off because of this restaurant. We arrived upon opening for dinner service and luckily were able to put our name down for a later time slot that night but would highly recommend reserving a table as this location is small with not very many tables. The service was phenomenal. Our server was helpful and always smiling. The food however truly stole the show. The french onion soup was especially our favourite- highly recommend! Both the beef stew and coq au vin were delicious and hearty. We got a raspberry item for dessert and it was the perfect consistency - light and tart, but not too sweet. Only thing to be aware of is that the stairs down to the toilet are quite steep and not accessible friendly.

An iconic Paris restaurant that’s simply unmissable. The décor is stunning, blending elegance with charm, and the atmosphere feels effortlessly relaxed. While it can get quite busy, we were pleasantly surprised—our table was ready in just 10 minutes. The dessert display was a feast for the eyes, with each option looking tempting. We went for the cheesecake and the restaurant’s famous hot chocolate. The cake were prepared in the San Sebastián style and absolutely delicious. Personally, I would have preferred the classic San Sebastián cheesecake base rather than the biscuit crust, but that’s just a matter of taste. The hot chocolate deserves a special mention—rich, smooth, and truly memorable. A must-try if you visit. In short: a Parisian classic that delivers both style and flavor, perfect for anyone looking to savor the city’s sweet side.

La Jacobine in Paris is such a wonderful spot! The food was absolutely amazing, full of rich flavors and perfectly cooked. The French onion soup was just superb—warm, cheesy, and so comforting, easily the best I’ve had in Paris! The waiter was incredibly professional and kind, taking great care of every detail. The cozy atmosphere makes you feel right at home. A truly lovely place for a delicious meal and great service. Totally recommend it!

You must make a reservation! We had the delicious french onion soup, the beef stew and the duck tajine. The mains are deliciously cooked and was a very memorable meal. Portions are huge and is somewhat difficult for one to finish so it makes sense to come and share them as a group. The duck tajine is very flavourful, reminds me of a spin off of a butter chicken in its own way as it’s sweet and savoury! We finished off the meal with coffees and the lemon meringue tarte which was also delicious. Would highly recommend the visit as it’s also in a very cute alleyway to see stores and restaurants!

A very solid 5 stars ⭐ unfortunately 5 is the limit ;) Everything was great right from The Server - the most polite and thoughtful I have seen so far. He never missed the eye contact and was ready when we need anything. Had clear description about the dishes and drinks. Food was awesome. One of the few fine dining places in France where they have quality as well as quantity (this is rare). we we so full with the starters and main course that we didn't ordered dessert. next time! we ordered goat cheese with honey, onion soup (awesome taste), roaster in wine, duck breasts (awesome mushroom sauce)

The French onion soup tasted really good. The owner/manager she was so friendly. We loved every bit of it except, well, if you don’t speak French, depending on your luck, you might get “special” treatment. So, speak French, or order sparkling water to bribe your way. Otherwise, count on your luck.

The best restaurant experience I have had in France. The food is surprisingly good. I've ordered the snails, onion soup, the sausage with mashed potato. You can't believe how stringy the mashed potatoes and onion soup is. The waiter is superb friendly and show you how to try the food. They take order and the check very quickly. I originally a bit hesitate when seeing comments below they are not friendly to non-French speakers. But it turns out they all wear smile and very attentive. Every time I need something there's always a guy ready to serve me. this restaurant has the best service I experienced during my 3 weeks here in Paris. You won't be disappointed with the food or service here. Absolutely will come back.

This is definitely my favorite Paris restaurant. We love all the food we ordered. Rich flavors that bust in our mouths. Our host is incredibly courteous and attentive, despite us unable to speak French with him. All staff are very friendly to my toddler.

We enjoyed a superb lunch at Bistrot des Vosges during our recent visit to the area while shopping at the Marche Bastille. My wife had the french onion soup and I had the choux farci (stuffed cabbage rolls). Both meals were excellent as was the included baguette. We opted to finish with the very tasty Grand Marnier soufflé for dessert. The wait staff were truly professional and we enjoyed the decor of the restaurant. We recommend this restaurant and we will return on our next visit to Paris.

Charming restaurant with amazing french onion soup! The steak tartare was huge and tasty, upgraded the fries to aligot which had a really creamy, cloud-like texture. The servers were also really friendly. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and portions.

I can understand why other reviewers describe this place as having the best french onion soup in paris. Its delicious. The broth thick, rich and dark. Personally, I’d like more cheese but can’t fault the place for focusing on the broth.

Exactly the French bistro you’re looking for. I had the onion soup with a salad on the side and a glass of the house red wine. It was delicious, affordable and service is kind, fast and attentive.

Delicious! Cozy! A bit tight, but everything is neat and comfortable! I can recommend it! We came till 6:00 PM and didn’t have to wait in line. The classic onion soup has disappeared from the menu. The dishes took a little while to be served, but everything was tasty! It was my first time trying snails — thank you! Just don’t let them seat you next to the waiters’ working station — not the nicest spot 🙌🏻

Vibe, prices and service are 10/10, really recommend. The food itself was nice - starters and desserts were good, not extraordinarily but good, but the main courses (we ordered beef bourguignon and steak) were not good. The beef bourguignon was dry and the steak was tasteless and hard. Overall still recommend because the price is super low and the experience is great. The line also moves real fast. Maybe just focus on the starters more.

A great place to get traditional Parisian café food. I had the escargot, steak fries, creme brulee, and a half of Cote de Rhone. The flavours were wonderful, and things were cooked very well. The cut of steak I got was very tough and chewy, but everything else was perfect. I was there for a late lunch at 3pm, on a Monday. There was a 25 minute line up to get in. It took about 15 minutes before I was asked for my order, but after that things came quickly. Three courses with wine was €32.40

This restaurant is very busy and crowded. Plan your time before coming, as the lines are long, or if possible, make a reservation. The food is quite tasty and the prices are very affordable. If you're in Rotterdam, make time to come here. The service is good, standard for Rotterdam, where it's fast.

If you want to eat French cuisine without destroying your bank account, this is the place. Affordable prices. The dishes we got like the duck confit, bone marrow, and escargot were delicious! Highly suggested to book in advance since the line for walk-ins are ridiculously long. We booked a week before so we didn't have to queue. Service can be quicker but I get that the whole place was packed and busy all night.

I had the three-course meal and was genuinely impressed. Each dish was flavorful and well-prepared, with thoughtful presentation and generous portions. For the price, it’s an absolute steal—very affordable without compromising on quality. I really enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for great food at a great price.

This was my first dinner in Paris and it was great. I'm glad to have booked in advance because the queue to get in was very long, and it took 10 minutes to get in even with a reservation. The whole thing is an experience, from the loud atmosphere, the quick service, the dim light. I didn't find the service impolite; I had a very nice server and although it sometimes took a while for things to arrive or for me to be served, it was to be expected with the crazy number of people dining. For the price, the food was really good. It's not the best French food in the city, of course, but you're foolish if you come here expecting that. I really enjoyed the beef bourguignon, though it needed a bit of salt (the waiter gave me some salt and pepper when I asked). It was super comforting and a very hefty portion. Simple but delicious. I had a glass of the house chardonnay which I thought was really nice for the price and very easy to drink. The best dish was the dessert, the profiterole! A huge dish, perhaps too much for one person, but delicious nonetheless. The pastry is fluffy and the ice cream is light. Overall I really do recommend this place. I would order more next time just so I can try more dishes!!

I’ve been on a journey to try and find the best Entrecote in Paris… I think I can finally say I’ve found it. Starters and desserts were a bit disappointing. But if you’re a meet lover, don’t miss out on the Entrecote! Also they get their bread from a boulangerie called Le Bechu and I think it’s hands down one of the best baguettes in Paris.

The best food I’ve eaten in all of Paris. This is the neighborhood spot you cannot skip. We ordered nearly the entire menu and it was all spectacular. The pork sausage was the best I’ve ever had.

We really enjoyed our meal at Attabler. The mains were delicious and chocolate souffle for dessert was a real treat. Service was efficient and friendly. One of our favourite meals in Paris!

Ordered the fish (cat fish) and the soufflé. The fish was ok and the dessert was good.

Excellent little French restaurant with exceptional menu. Very welcoming and great advice from the proprietor. Perfect for the Francophile gourmands.

I have no words other than OH MY GOD. If you're in Paris you HAVE to come here. I can't believe it

Just what we were looking for - simple but stunning food, wonderful and friendly service . A perfect Paris dining experience. Thank you.

Loved this famous and prestigious cafe in Paris. Historic and highly regarded, I can tell why. We went for breakfast on Sunday, and didn't need to queue. We did go at 8am though, and there was a crowd starting to develop inside. We ordered the- Special flore dark chocolat with creme Croissant Toast with echire butter The Le The de flore tea creation Croque Monsieur special flore Has to be the best croissant we had in Paris. Can't recommend the croissant enough. The hot chocolate was delightful and wasn't too sickening. I recommend to order it with the creme. The french butter was tasty too. Next time I would love to try the French onion soup and cafe de flore terrine. Overall 10/10 and highly recommend when looking for an authentic French cafe experience in Paris.

This has to be one of the most famous cafés in Paris, it’s been featured in countless movies and stories! I just had to visit while I was in the city, and it was absolutely worth it. It’s always super busy (clearly I wasn’t the only one with the same idea), so I waited about half an hour in line. But once seated, I had the best onion soup of my life! I also tried the foie gras, which came in a much larger portion than expected, definitely something to share with at least three people. The service was handsome…wait…I mean friendly.

Very very busy cafe. A bit of a wait for food and drink, but I was determined to experience because of its cultural significance. Mixed drinks were creative and delicious! However I saw many patrons order the hot chocolate and I was a bit remorseful I had not gone that route. Must see for any “lost generation” aficionados. Timeless, elegant. In the corner by the stairs, there is a delightful little dollhouse recreation of the cafe with small pictures of its famous guests, Hemingway, Fitzgerald. I can easily see how this would invite conversation and creativity. And I just love Paris. A win win!

An unforgettable Parisian experience at Café de Flore! We were warmly welcomed by Lia at the reception, who was incredibly kind and attentive — a lovely start to our visit. We ordered the hot chocolate with whipped cream, and honestly, it deserves a gold medal 🏅 — rich, velvety, and absolutely indulgent. The Éclair and Lemon Tart were equally delightful, clearly crafted with love and care. Our Americano (long coffee) was smooth and well-roasted, showcasing the café’s attention to coffee quality. The waiters were professional, efficient, and courteous, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Café de Flore truly lives up to its reputation. It’s a must-visit in Paris, and we’ll definitely return on future trips. ❤️🇫🇷

Visiting Café de Flore is like stepping into a page of Parisian history. Nestled in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the café is legendary — once a favorite of Sartre, Beauvoir, and countless artists and writers. The terrace is perfect for people-watching with a café crème in hand, and the ambiance is undeniably charming. Yes, the prices are high and the service can feel a bit brisk, but you’re not just paying for coffee — you’re paying for the atmosphere, the legacy, and that iconic Parisian moment. It’s not where you go for the best food in Paris, but it is where you go to feel the spirit of the city.

A Parisian Classic Worth Experiencing! Café de Flore is the quintessential Parisian café — elegant, historic, and full of charm. Sitting on the terrace with a coffee or hot chocolate while watching the world go by feels like stepping into a timeless Paris postcard. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast with perfectly flaky croissants, delicious omelets, and rich café crème. The service was attentive and professional, even with the café’s lively atmosphere. It’s easy to see why Café de Flore remains a Paris institution — a place where history, ambiance, and great food come together beautifully. Don’t miss it if you want to experience authentic Parisian café culture at its best!

Cafe’ de Flore…. Crossroad of all centuries where the humanity meets cultures of all nations. Where everything is a history with it’s Famous clientele and high profile writers and philosophers. Where you can dream and feel a part of it while enjoying their famous Hot chocolate with Tartin Tart! P. S. Special thanks to Etienne being very nice and sweet!!!

We celebrated our 25 year anniversary here. Got the seafood platter for two. It could have easily fed three. It was beautifully presented on ice. Has to be the best meal I have eaten. Everything was cooked to perfection. The waiter was attentive and helpful. They accommodated me and my coeliac. I’m gluten free The manager wanted to make sure we were happy and asked about our experience. Just absolutely 10/10.

Had lunch today, Steak Tartare, and it was really good for a very correct price. The guy serving us, sorry, forgot his name, provided an excellent and friendly service. Definitely a recommendation

9-June-2025 Good food. Oysters and fish are very fresh. 12-June-2025 I came back to dine at this restaurant once again. The service was not as good as last time. I ordered Tuna tartare snd Mussels. At this time, the waiter served only bread without butter. When I asked for one, they charged me €0.80 for that.

The food was very good! I would say that the dishes are on the fancier side and I am more of a simple dish enjoyer, but still tasted amazing, especially the fish and chips. This place is on the more expensive side with drinks being around 6 euros and dishes around 20-25, but you’re seated right in front of Gar du Nord so that is cool.

I visited on a Sunday afternoon between 2 trains. Service was very friendly, and efficient. My children and I really enjoyed the food. I ordered octopus which had a delicious pea purée alongside it and some vegetable. Really could not fault it and I have rarely seen a dish quite like that. The waiters were kind to my kids too, which was appreciated after a long trip. They can serve you faster if you are in a hurry to catch a train.

They have quick service if you’re in a rush. I had Le Terminus Nord, and I must say, the orange juice was incredibly refreshing — it genuinely revitalized me.

We had a wonderful experience here on Saturday. Having had a last minute cancellation with a restaurant we originally booked with, we walked into Terminus Nord for lunch with no reservation and the staff were incredibly accommodating to our group of 9. We were served and looked after by Tyron who was exceptional. Fantastic service and friendly staff made our trip to Paris all the more enjoyable.

This Ile Saint-Louis gem was recommended to us for their great bistro food and the recommendations were spot on. The place is very French bistro with plenty of outside tables and a great vibe on a corner with a number of other places. The prices aren’t cheap but as they say you get what you pay for. Well, if you have seen a certain movie from Quentin T with John T and Uma T having dinner at a retro cafe named Jack Rabbit Slims, my first comment was “Is that a 28 euro burger on the menu? It’s got meat, bacon, and cheese on it?” Well I ordered it and I don’t know if that burger was worth €28 but it was a pretty “#%&$” great cheeseburger. V ordered the Croque Madam. It looked great and while I didn’t try it, she said it was the best sandwich she had ever had. While she did offer me a bite, I was mid-burger so missed out. She is a great judge so I’d have to say it must be really really good. The bar and drink menu is great and they have lots of non-alcoholic choices as well which we like so it was a big win all around. And for dessert, we had a caramel eclair which was as good as you would find in any patisserie. Overall great night and great dinner. Total meal with drinks was about €100 but not that bad considering it’s Paris and you’re a stone’s throw from Notre Dame. Enjoy!

Wonderful restaurant near Notre Dame Cathedral. We had the very best meal of veal liver, bacon and steamed potatoes! So good! Friendly service in a quaint restaurant bar full of character!

Great, authentic, close to Notre Dame but not silly busy! You can’t book but plenty of tables that turn around quickly for a relatively small place! Snails are excellent too!!!

Came here straight from the airport and this was our first meal in Paris. Our 6 month old was feeling jet lagged and a little unhappy during our meal and waitstaff was so accommodating and sweet to us. Food was DELICIOUS! Vibes were great! Service was FAST and got the check really quick when requested. They also found us a seat where I could bring our small stroller out from the rain as well which was so kind. 5 star experience for sure.

Loved this charming little place. Classic French cafe. I had the full breakfast and everything was excellent. I just happened upon this place after leaving Notre Dame. The staff were very polite and accommodating. I went back a second time for a late lunch/early dinner and also enjoyed it very much. The creme brulee was excellent. I sat inside and saw a local elderly woman sitting outside for coffee with her two cocker spaniels in a baby carriage. Very entertaining.

We had an amazing meal at The Saint Regis. The French onion soup was soooo nice, and I really cannot stress this, it was absolutely the best soup I've ever had. I would go back to Paris just to eat at this restaurant! Staff were lovely and friendly (spoke English, though we do try to speak French). Prices were not bad either. Lovely setting. Couldn't have asked for more on a hot summers evening.

Went their quite early as I was going for an early morning walk. I walked in at about 7:45, and I believe their open time was 7:30. They didn’t have any breakfast / eggs available so they asked me to wait 1 hour or they could provide me a croissant. Lady seemed a little frustrated as I didn’t want a coffee straight away and she waved her arms around like I did something wrong. I got an espresso which was a little below average and a croissant which was beautiful. 3 stars has been given due to the fact they had no eggs, or breakfast available according to their open time, coffee was sub par, and the waving of the arms from the lady who served me.

Very cute restaurant at the corner, super friendly staffs and great services! Food is just average, maybe we didn’t order right. However, my salmon tarter is very tasty and decent portion, my drink is good too. The burger and the starter are a bit boring, fries are not the greatest either. Overall positive experience! For the location, price is good.

Highly recommended. Cien por ciento recomendable. This is a traditional Parisian Bistrot with very reasonable prices and superb taste. Do not miss it in your Paris visit. Come early and get the table of your choice. It gets crowded and with a super nice ambience.

Fantastic service , good food , cheap drinks & prices , what more can you wish for. Definitely recommended. Expect to wait outside a little bit in a queue as many people want to go here. I had steak and it was really great, especially for that price. My girlfriend loved the onion soup, it was the best she had this week in France. should we come back to Paris then we will definitely have to come back here

We ordered starters and main courses too and we got the food really fast but we got everything all at once and tables were tiny so it was very uncomfortable to eat like that. the food looked very good but... The taste of the food was very bland. No seasoning on anything really. Luckily we got the bill very fast but I really do not feel like it was worth it spend the money there. The waiters did the bare minimum. We had an amazing day in Paris but this dinner took a little bit from the experience. I do not recommend this place.

We saw that this restaurant was packed with locals and tourists and there was a decent line outside so we decided to give it a try. Despite the long line, it went by fast and we were seated within 15 min. We tried the escargot, two salad entrees, rib steak frites and chicken. We loved the escargot and mashed potatoes that came with the chicken dish the most. The rib steak and chicken were both a bit chewy and tough to eat, but they were overall good given the amazing affordable price point. The manager was so friendly to everyone which made our experience here even better.

We came a bit later in the evening, we had to wait at most 5 minutes. The onion soup and escargot’s came very quick and were delicious starters. For mains we had the steak with burnt thyme and the beef tartare, we devoured both of them, definitely can recommend here! The tables are a bit close together, but the staff is very helpful and friendly. A lot of locals come here as well. Price quality balance also very good.

The duck confit was decent, but onions soup is a bit too greasy and watery to my preference. Although the food isn’t the best that we had, dishes are fairly priced and the intimate warm atmosphere made a great experience.

We enjoyed our meal at Le Suffren — the food was good and nicely prepared. However, the service could have been warmer, may be because it was a busy day. Booking is definitely recommended as it gets quite busy, and the prices are fair for the quality and location.

We came on a Friday night with no reservation. Even though the venue looked full, the waiter still managed to make space for us without wait, which we appreciated. They also provided us with an english menu. We didn't like the ribeye steak and bearnaise sauce, but the star of the show was the duck confit #perfection

The atmosphere felt authentic, with local patrons, yet we didn't feel excluded and truly enjoyed our meal. The tables were a little close together, which made it slightly difficult to get in and out. However, I think some people might find this arrangement adds to the cozy and friendly atmosphere. My daughter absolutely loved the escargots and had two servings! The wine you recommended was also delicious, and the beef tartare was rich and flavorful. We definitely want to visit again. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

We went in without a reservation and we were seated right away although the restaurant was a bit full. The server was very kind. I wanted to try oysters and asked him to suggest which ones to get. I told him I just needed medium sized ones and his recommendation did not disappoint. I ordered flank steaks as the main course. The meat was tender and cooked to my liking. We also ordered crepe Suzette which was prepared by the waiter. It was so delicious, sweet and with a good orange flavour. I will definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Paris.

We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but the staff welcomed us kindly, and all the dishes were delicious. It was my wife’s birthday, and they prepared a touching surprise for her, which made the evening truly memorable. It’s a wonderful restaurant, and we would definitely like to visit again next time.

Great experience, great food, great service. Such a nice atmosphere and the service is amazing. The restaurant is fully sat but even then everything feels perfect. I had the duck and I loved it! We came to try out snails and it was surprisingly good. I recommend this place!

Lovely menu with a lot seafood options. I got the onion soup and the confit Canard. Both very good. The miss took the fish soup and the grilled octopus. Very good choice too.

Locate near Val d'europe. Food was excellent, and it came fairly quickly. Lots of choices on the menu which is unusual for any Vietnamese restaurant I visited. I especially like the red bean dessert / drink, it resemble a home-made drink I had back home. The service staff is a bit slow, and at time the place could be quite noisy as its not a super big restaurant. All is all, a good place to try out.

Great experience at this pho spot! The service was excellent — staff were attentive and kept refilling our water without us having to ask, which was really appreciated. Our food came out quickly and everything was delicious. The pho was flavorful and comforting, exactly what we were hoping for.

We had our first meal in Paris here (in late July), and it was fantastic! The pho was flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and came in generous portions – just what we needed after a long trip. The taste matched our preferences really well. The only downside was that the tables were a bit small, which made it slightly uncomfortable. Overall, highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food in Paris!

I’ve been coming to Pho 14 for years, but this visit wasn’t quite the same. The broth lacked the depth of flavor I remember, and the service felt minimal — not rude, just not very engaging. Still, it’s a convenient spot for a quick bowl of pho, though I miss the warmth and richness it once had.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve been coming to Phở Bánh Cuốn 14 in the 13ᵉ arrondissement for well over a decade now, and it remains one of the most authentic Vietnamese restaurants in Paris. Every visit takes me to Vietnam in flavour, and I always leave satisfied. From day one, the standard here has been remarkably high. The broth for the phở is rich, aromatic, with a subtle balance of star anise, ginger, and onion—not overly heavy, never overly sweet. It’s the kind of broth that warms you to your bones on a cold Parisian night. The beef (both rare slices and cooked) is always fresh, tender, and prepared just right. When I order the phở spécial with raw beef, it gently cooks in the bowl, releasing that wonderful fragrance of meat and spices. The bánh cuốn is another highlight: thin rice crepes, steamed just so, filled with minced pork and wood ear mushrooms, garnished with fresh herbs and crispy shallots. Light yet filling. I’ve tasted many versions in France and abroad, but theirs still ranks among the very best. Portions have always been very generous. Even a “standard” bowl is enough to fill you up, and side dishes like nems (spring rolls) still retain their crisp, satisfying texture. The ingredients feel fresh—herbs, bean sprouts, lime wedges—these little additions never feel like an afterthought. The atmosphere has evolved slightly over the years—Pho 14 is busier than ever, queues are common, tables are close together—but the core experience remains. You come for the food, and you get what you came for: authenticity, consistency, good value. Service is fast. It’s not fancy, it’s not slick, but efficient. People working behind the counter know what they’re doing, even at peak hours. Sometimes it feels more like a beloved canteen than a restaurant, and that’s part of its charm. If you want real Vietnamese flavours—an honest phở or bánh cuốn that tastes like something you’d eat in Vietnam—this is one of the few places in Paris that still delivers after all these years. I’ll keep coming back. Highly recommended for both the newcomer and the occasional pho-lover.

nice food, good service and good vibe, the soup is not as hot as I thought, we sat outside and it got cool during the eating.

Came here after 13.30 still crowded. Whenever I fancy authentic Vietnamese pho without being disappointed I come here. I only had to wait few minutes to have a seat inside. It was very hot and they didn’t turn on the A/C. Besides my table was an English (sound British) aged man that ordered No.3 and a pair of American speaking ladies. The customer base is not only foreigners but many local French and Asian. The pho soup was sumptuous and flavorful. The beef melted in my mouth without chewing it. There was nothing to ask for side vegetables which come as standard. The red bean coconut milk drink was delicious and refreshing though I would prefer with more ices. Most tourists don’t know Paris, particularly Paris 13th district, is the best place in the world to have authentic Vietnamese Pho soup (except Vietnam)given its high concentration of Chinese Vietnamese diaspora. I tried Pho from over 30 countries and Paris still has the best authentic Pho. Service was fast and efficient (no BS). People come here only for good food and not romance or networking.

Wouldn't say that it's the best food in the world, but it doesn't need to be. I still very much enjoyed it. The atmosphere both inside and outside was lovely, certainly a more interesting place to dine in. We had the steak and the risotto, both were quite tasty yet not too expensive. Service was pretty much perfect, super friendly staff all-around. Quick too. Recommended if you're in the area. Wasn't too full but still I'd suggest a reservation beforehand.

We arrived at 20:45 for our reservation, excited because a Parisian friend had highly recommended Le Moulin de la Galette. The restaurant is in a charming, historic building in Montmartre, and the atmosphere seemed perfect for a romantic dinner. Unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. The hostess told us that inside seating was unavailable and asked us to wait 15 to 20 minutes. We waited on the sidewalk with no updates, only to watch a walk-in party of two get seated before us. When we asked for an update, she admitted she had forgotten about us and told us to wait inside so she would not forget again. Even then, we watched her seat another party before us with no explanation. Nearly an hour after our reservation time, we were finally seated. The food was fine, but by that point we were frustrated and ready to leave. The wall next to our table was dirty and covered with food stains and crumbs, which made the experience even less pleasant. For a restaurant with such a strong reputation and beautiful setting, the service and cleanliness were far below expectations.

Staff was very attentive and friendly, even made us smile. Most spoke English really well. The vibe was nice, we sat next to some loud high school/college kids, they were excited because they ordered alcohol and they didnt check IDs and they were 17, maybe its the age rule is different here idk. It would have been nice to ask them to quiet down a little though. The food: the duck with potatoes was really good, it tasted like the dark meat of turkey and buttery potatoes. Pretty fatty. The bread was decent, not as good as the bakeries in the street but better than other restaurants. The steak frites, was undercooked but I dont think they understood "medium well", i asked for them to cook it a little more cause it was rare and they said "yes, its french to have it bloody, we are cook it more for you". They were very kind about it and the steak was good tasting after, it was a pretty fatty cut it would say i would eat about half of the pictured meat, the rest was fat. Fries were good, I salted them. Salad was not my fav I dont like Dijon mustard unfortunately. The olives tasted canned and not good. Overall, the other places we ate were better quality, this was decent but not worth the money. The redeeming factor was the history behind the windmill that is on the restaurant, we googled it but I think they have a mat on the table in french telling about it. Lunch menu seems like a good deal.

We visited Le Moulin de la Galette on the last day of our 20th wedding anniversary trip to Paris. It was a rainy afternoon and an in-between hour for lunch, so we felt rather lucky to be seated straight away. The food was absolutely delicious — we each had the classic French onion soup and shared a perfectly cooked steak with chips and salad. The lovely lady who served us told us a little about the restaurant’s fascinating history and kindly offered us printed placemats as a keepsake. A charming and memorable way to end our Parisian escape.

Our waiter was very friendly and attentive (until there are too many customers). The interior was also very nice but it would be nicer with fewer tables. The food was good to with reasonable price in this area! I loved the dessert especially. The service got a little too slow when an espresso was forgotten.

Everything is perfect. staffs are professional, cuisines are delicious！atmosphere is delightful! thank you for an unforgettable dinner in our first day in Paris.

As someone with allergies and specific dietary needs, I was thrilled with how competently they were able to take care of me. Our starters, meals, and desserts were beautiful. Our server Sam was exceptional. Excellent service. Thank you for taking care of us!

At Le Meurice, the promise of breakfast carries a certain romance — the anticipation of Paris distilled into a cup and a pastry. Yet my morning there felt more subdued than memorable. The cappuccino, pleasant enough, lacked the richness and finesse one hopes for in such surroundings, its flavor closer to something encountered in transit than in the heart of the city. The croissant was good — crisp, buttery — but not quite the transcendent bite one might expect at this address. In the end, it was a perfectly fine breakfast, but one whose price seemed to whisper of an experience more remarkable than the one served.

Dining at Restaurant Le Dali was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first moment, the service set the tone — polished, attentive, and effortlessly warm. Our waitress anticipated every detail with such grace that it truly felt like six-star service. The meal itself was a celebration of flavor and craftsmanship. The langoustine ravioles were refined and deeply flavorful, each bite capturing the delicate sweetness of the sea. The sirloin followed with perfection — tender, juicy, and cooked with such precision that it melted in the mouth. To finish, the vanilla crème brûlée was simply divine: a silken custard beneath a perfectly caramelized crust, easily among the finest I have ever tasted. Restaurant Le Dali is more than a meal — it’s an experience of elegance, hospitality, and culinary artistry. A place to linger, savor, and remember.

Overall, our experience at Le Dali was remarkable, filled with delicious treats and impeccable service. We enjoyed every moment and left with a newfound appreciation for the art of afternoon tea. I highly recommend this delightful experience for anyone looking to indulge in a memorable culinary outing!

Stunning, we were recommended to give it a try! We went for breakfast/brunch here, while it is definitely not cheap, it is absolutely worth it. The pain au chocolate and hot chocolate were amazing, we both loved it. Fruit platter was very nicely presented, too. Further, we loved the room, so beautiful. Definitely recommend going here for breakfast.

An absolutely high-class and luxurious spot with touches of Dali-inspired design. The atmosphere is exceptional, with live music and outstanding, friendly service. They even made a thoughtful gesture for the birthday lady, which was a lovely surprise. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but well worth it.

I’ve would’ve been providing them five / five only for two persons working there ! And I wish the managment focus and teach all other employees in that restaurant to learn from : Juliette & Imes, As they did outstanding service not only with us but from everyone we saw. The others they think if they treated you with smile then they are insulting themselves With a very slow response from them. If this restaurant is fine dining then why our table without towels or cover like the rest I will provide pictures will prove my point. Must educate yours team how to treat your audience before its too late

We went in for the tea time and we chose the champagne menu. The service is impeccable, polite and attentive. The sandwiches are very good and the scones are very good too, especially the pear one. The Cedric Grolet pâtisseries, honestly, aren't worth all the hype, they are nice but that is just it. We have eaten better pâtisseries at the Ritz, at Le Bristol and even at Pierre Hermé. The tea was also lukewarm and as soon as we poured it into the teacup it would get cold almost instantly.

Salads were good, the main problem is Coca Cola almost 7€ and water almost 10€ very not cool! A 1000% markup is simply to to much. Ask for tap water

While it looks like a decent French restaurant the food quality does not match neither initial impression nor the prices. Eggs under mayonnaise were overcooked, onions in French onion soup were only slightly cooked and not caramelized, and the steaks were raw inside!! I did not expect such subpar quality from a French establishment. It feels like they are trying to serve as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time forgoing the quality of the food. Highly disappointing.

Cafe Varenne was a great stop after the Rodin museum.Matthieu was our server and he was attentive and courteous. Duck confit, chicken, fish and steak tartare, plus a few starters and dessert were well received.

If I could give 3.5 stars, I would. We had the French onion soup, escargot, foie gras, hanger steak with shallot sauce, and duck confit. Service was friendly. Not the greatest representation of each dish here but not the worst either. French onion soup (2/5) : was watery, beef stock not very rich, onions not very caramelized, overall flavour was lacking for a French onion soup but it was tasty enough (like a light onion-y broth) to drink. Escargot (4/5) : garlic parsley butter escargot, emphasis on the parsley with a hint of garlic - pretty good Foie gras (5/5) - on bread, delicious, flavour was great. fatty like butter, personally would not eat it off bread. Hanger steak (3/5) : not bad, not great. medium rare is more a medium between rare and bleu - order medium if you’re squeamish about rare. Salad was fresh, fries good not great. Duck confit (3.5/5) : some tender parts, edges of the duck tended to be tougher. Skin was crispy.

Service was definitely great. The staff were fantastic, really friendly and on the ball. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. It did the job, but it wasn't particularly memorable or exciting.

**Update: Ask for Alex - Merci pour ce bon moment :) What more could you ask for than good food, drinks , staff and people watching. They welcome non-Parisians so please don’t be intimidated! Sit outside, have a glass of wine, order some food and PLEASE have some damn dessert! I came here in October 2025 after doing a whole lot of shopping and walking around the neighbourhood. I embarrassed myself in the first 10 minutes dropping my knife while trying to enjoy bread and butter and knowing 2 words of French. Trust me, as an awkward American if I can sit here for 3 hours after making a fool of myself, you can order some food! The staff are all so nice, professional and fast. Idk how they do it everyday, all day. I spent my night doing lots of people and dog watching while enjoying really yummy food. I think their desserts are the best part, so say yes to whatever they offer! There’s a good mix of regulars, locals and tourists so just give it a try because the place gets busy if you don’t. Trust me you won’t regret it, I went back multiple times!

We did family style with several appetizers so we could taste everything! The tartares were great, the leek mimosa was wonderful, the sardines, the fish, organic wine, draft beer, all was great!

Decent pho but not amazing, needs to be served hotter. Also the Bun Bo Bue noodles were all chopped up and between 2-5cm long. Couldn’t eat the noodles properly. Really ruined the experience. Got the Pho Dac Biet and the Bun Bo Hue. The soups came out somewhat hot, but not very hot. Could sip instantly and didn’t need to cool down. Within a few minutes the soup was just kind of warm and not very enjoyable to eat. Pho Dac biet is tasty but very sweet, too sweet for my tastes. It’s also quite fatty, and not the clearest broth. The cuts of beef were all delicious and plentiful and the brisket was cooked perfectly and sliced thick. Bun Bo Hue is not very authentic, the flavor is lacking quite a lot. Doesn’t taste like BBH you get in Vietnam. But worst of all, the noodles were very short. They seemed all cut up. I’m not sure. Couldn’t pick up and slurp the noodles. Really disappointing and made eating the dish difficult. Quite a letdown since it was so highly recommended. We decided to bring the rest home to heat up properly and enjoy to its max potential, but to go containers cost €1 each. I’ve never seen this before in Paris. The food isn’t bad, but the fact that it was served barely hot and cooled down so quickly, and BBH noodles were chopped up, really took away from the experience.

The food was really good, I really recommend the pho and rice. Today we’ve tried a mango duck (S1 on the menu), the mango surprises me, but the mango flavor is not strong enough as what I’ve expected. However the duck meat was first fried and cooked, well cooked and tasty!

Heavenly broth 🙌🏻 also very very generous portions, lots of nice springy Pho and a hearty serving of meat. Staff are lovely, one lady even plucked the leaves of the garnish to show me the best way to enjoy it 😘 I think they won some awards, maybe even a Michelin star or two, and they definitely deserve every award they get!!

Came here with my friend and she suggested ordering the two ‘laksa style’ soup noodle, and they were delicious! Also like the Vietnamese rice roll, yummy!

A place to avoid. My pho came cold and it was pho with raw meat. Supposedly the meat should cook in the broth, this didn’t happen because the broth came cold. I asked them to heat it, they took it from me and microwaved it for 1 minute and gave it back to me cold again. They don’t care about the customers and they are very arrogant. Never go there. The is picture of all the meat I had to remove to be able to eat this dish

Misguided. The Michelin Guide, as advertised on social media and on their official website, does not do this restaurant justice. Another reviewer mentioned this too. I didn’t believe it, so I decided to try it myself. Unfortunately, they were right. The food was absurdly mid, nothing special, just an average bowl of pho. Definitely not Michelin Guide worthy. The service was even worse, except for the kind old man with grey hair, who was the only pleasant part of my visit. The overall attitude and body language of the staff were unwelcoming. When you walk in, no greeting, no smile, they just point to a table and expect you to sit down. I asked the owner a question, and she stood three tables away, leaning forward like she couldn’t be bothered to come closer. When she couldn’t hear me, she got visibly annoyed before finally stepping toward me to listen properly. My pho was at least hot (unlike some reviews mentioning lukewarm bowls), but then I found a small fly in my soup. When I asked for a replacement, they brought the exact same bowl back, just reheated, same noodles and same toppings I had already added. Completely unacceptable. To make things worse, when I asked another waitress for extra lemon, she rolled her eyes and walked away without a word. I had to get up in a crowded restaurant and go to the counter myself, where thankfully the nice old man gave me the lemons. The owner and waitresses seriously need to fix their attitude toward customers. The lack of respect and basic hospitality is astonishing, especially for a restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide. The day before, I ate at Pho 14, and it was miles better in both food quality and service. End result: overrated, disappointing, and not worth the hype.

While we were in Paris we made the trip after seeing it in the Michelin Guide. We both got the Pho Dac Biet and whilst it was good It wasn't really anything exceptional. The portion was very large, the broth was flavoursome but very fatty which made it difficult to finish. The meat was generous of good quality. It arrived a bit cooler than we would have liked. Service wise since we arrived very early initially the staff had time to be attentive and relaxed, however the space began to fill up very quickly and it became quite chaotic. We were not too bothered by this since we were focused on eating, but be advised it is not the most relaxed atmosphere. Overall, we left feeling like we had a decent bowl of Pho but there was nothing particularly amazing or standout about the experience for us.

The most incredible and flavorful ramen I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is deeply immersive, with frozen fish boxes and ambient sea sounds creating a truly unique setting. Even the bathroom adds to the experience, instantly transporting you to Japan. Highly recommended.

Reliving the atmosphere of a Japanese fish market right in the heart of Paris, that’s exactly what Kodawari Ramen Tsukiji offers. From the moment you step inside, the details are incredible: the sounds, the lights, the decor… you truly feel transported. The ramen is delicious and full of flavor. I tried the sea bream broth, light, rich with an egg, and perfectly balanced, and the noodles were cooked just right. The staff are friendly and professional, and the service runs smoothly even when it’s busy. It does get crowded, especially on weekends, so be prepared to wait a bit, or try early dinners, but it’s absolutely worth it. The whole experience feels authentic and full of life. Enjoy 😊

An exceptional spot in Paris — probably the best ramen I’ve ever had in my life. The fact that we waited an hour and a half to get in didn’t bother us at all, because the reward of tasting that menu was absolutely worth it. I recommend it without hesitation. If I lived in Paris, I’d be there every week. A unique place with a distinctive concept and décor. The food is simply unforgettable. It’s worth the wait — just make sure to scan the QR code at the entrance to join the waiting list before getting in line.

This place is honestly one of the best ramen places I’ve ever been to! The moment you walk in, it feels like you’re in a fish market, the vibe is so cool and detailed. The ramen is incredible. It’s rich broth, chewy noodles, and everything just comes together perfectly. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. It’s such a great experience overall, definitely a must-visit when you’re in Paris!

We have never been to Japan, but we are big fans of Japanese food. The concept of this restaurant was amazing: sitting by a “fishing dock,” with boat equipment around, the sound of water, the boat engine, and the staff speaking loudly in Japanese — probably talking about fishing, the sea, and boats. It was incredibly interesting. I had never experienced anything like this before, and I loved the whole atmosphere. The noise, the friendly chaos, the warm and kind staff, and the perfectly balanced design details all made it very special. The recorded sound was at the perfect level, the details were thoughtful, and even the staff’s voices and coordination felt authentic. It became one of my best Japanese restaurant experiences ever. For a moment, I felt like I was living in Japan, right by the water, next to real fishermen. Unbelievable — and of course, the food was excellent, and the Japanese cola was a lovely touch.

Never disappoints! One of the best ramen i've eaten in Paris! You might have to wait a little bit but it's totally worth it. I had the vegetarian ramen and it's so so good! Even if it's cold, it has a lot of flavor, i recommend this one.

Hidden behind an unassuming door is a whole Japanese fish market! 🐟🇯🇵 The moment you step inside, it feels like you’ve been transported straight to Japan — from the bustling background sounds to the lively shouts of Japanese fishmongers. The atmosphere is insanely realistic and immersive! I ordered the classic Shoyu Ramen de Sardine, and it was amazing — sardines with rich pork bone broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and a deep, savory flavor. One of the most authentic ramen experiences I’ve had outside of Japan. 🍜 The decor deserves special mention. You can tell the owner put so much heart into it — fish crates, a retro ’90s dial phone, a small TV looping Japanese commercials, even a slightly dirty dishcloth in the corner (in the best nostalgic way!). Every detail feels intentional and true to the theme. Overall, an absolutely stunning ramen spot. If you love Japanese vibes and authentic flavors, this place is a must-visit! 🌊✨

Delicious vegan food in the heart of Paris. We had the vegan brunch, which includes a coffee, smoothie, vegan savoury pancakes with deviled "egg" avocado and sweet pancakes with fresh fruit. Everything was absolutely delicious. It was 34 euro per person, which was actually great value when you consider the quality and quantity of the food. Everything was delicious and very well presented. Servers were friendly and attentive. I highly recommend, whether you are vegan or not. My partner (who is not vegan) loved the food.

Best vegan restaurant in Paris for sure!!!! He had a delicious meditarian salad with watermalon and stroberries, "bowled egg" made from avocado, stuffed eggplant and a delicioua rice meal. For dessert with ate the stroberry dessert. The meals were just perfect! Tasty, uniq and most importantly for us - we felt full after eating. This is a great place to celebrate special events. Thank you for a perfect evening!

Le Potager de Charlotte – a vegan gem in the heart of Paris! The food was out of this world — fresh, homemade, and bursting with flavour. Every bite was crafted with love, using organic ingredients that truly made each dish taste divine. My beau and I each enjoyed a beautifully mixed cocktail to start, and from the first course to the very last spoonful of what we both agreed was the best vegan crème brûlée we’ve ever had, we were completely smitten. Highly recommended for anyone seeking exceptional plant-based cuisine in Paris. But do book ahead — we reserved in advance, and the place was fully booked! A true testament to how popular and well-loved this restaurant is. An absolute must-visit. 🌿✨

My partner and I love this place! It’s very good! The food was excellent! The chocolate mousse, sesame marinaded tofu and the elicoidali basil are the best! I would come back here and eat over and over again! The inside was very modern chic!

I got the salad and the tofu and it was absolutely delicious! I feel like it’s hard to find tofu dishes in Europe and this was so good. The space was very comfortable the vibes were good the staff was nice

Fabulous vegetarian restaurant! I’m not even a vegetarian and I really like it. From the pictures it seemed like it was a more a daytime menu, but it’s definitely great for dinner. I love how they focus on seasonal vegetables, the flavors really pop. In my opinion the pasta was a little too al dente, so I wouldn’t order that again, but the salads were great. There’s something for everyone and it’s very unpretentious. Will be back the next time I’m there.

Delicious food (had marinated tofu as started, rigatoni carbonara as main, and chocolate mousse/pancakes as dessert), it was difficult to choose among all the amazing options. It is specified in the menu that the food contains a low level of salt, sugar and oils, making it a healthy option too. We didn’t have a reservation but were kindly allowed a table which was super nice. The atmosphere was great too. Would definitely return and recommend this place!

So many viet places in the area but not many serve bun rieu. I got a large which I felt was still very small, price I guess was around average. The soup base was great very flavourful but was not hot enough, came just warm and the fish cake was really really fishy, I only ate half of the fishcake. The taste was great but was not hot enough, small and fishcakes bad. Doubt I will return in a hurry. Seems popular with Japanese ppl, waitress didn't speak any English but it's ok u can just point.

It surprises me how the service and food taste changed in a couple of years in a good way. I had to leave everything and left the restaurant in 2023 when I visited here as the service was really bad and the food tasted terrible. But I came here with my friends and tried few different dishes. Everything was good except the deep fried spring rolls were cold. The soup tasted clean and tasty. Charcoal grilled chicken with lemongrass was great. The service was fast and easy. You should give it a try if you are craving for some Vietnamese food in Paris .

Food tasted very good. We had rolls, shrimp with rice and Soup bowl. Service was quick. Dinner Bill for 2 cost us approx. EUR 35. Its walkable distance from nearest Metro station. Since seating is close by, you will find it a bit loud.

I got the Bun Rieu. The soup was aromatic and flavourful. The waiter brought me out the shrimp paste for me to smell before ordering, which was a little odd. There was a lively crowd and it was generally a good atmosphere.

This place had great reviews so I thought I’d try it out. I ordered bun rieu but was mistakenly given bun bo hue. I took a bite of bun bo hue before realizing this wasn’t what I ordered. But all I can say is that the one bite of bun bo hue did not live up to my expectation. The noodles were not soft and the broth was pretty bland. The meat was also a bit on the chewy side. The bun rieu was.. also pretty disappointing. I expected an explosion of flavour but instead I got just a hint. overall, it’s alright. service was great though. even though they thought i wouldn’t notice the difference between bun rieu and bun bo hue, this place is okay.

The Pho which is most look forward to wash not fully cooked that was tasting a little hard, meat potion is small though I ordered a big portion.

The Pho tai was ok, there are sauce and herbs but the broth is a bit bland (not flavorful enough) but the meat was ok The Bun Bo Hue on the opposite, the broth is quite strong, you can taste mam ruoc on the broth but the noodles is very hard ( not soft enough) The entree we took was Banh Beo Bi! This one was excellent!

This restaurant was beside our hotel. We ate here the first night because it was a long travel day and figured we would venture to other places the following nights. We ended up eating here three nights in a row. The food was good and each night my husband wanted to try new dishes so we figured why not go where we already knew the food is of a high standard. The oeufs mimosa were delicious. My husband preferred this cassoulet to the ones he had eaten in the south where the recipe originated. The sausage and potatoes were delicious. My beef on a skewer with roasted peppers was a generous serving. Excellent wine selection. The charcuterie planche mixte was a good portion size for two but did not offer the variety we had in other bistros. Staff was friendly and attentive. Mix of tourists and locals.

Au Père Louis was recommended to us by our concierge (Erwin) at the Hotel Dame des Arts. We simply loved this place for its cool and local vibe (far more locals drinking and eating here than tourists), the smart cocktail options and a well thought out wine list (bottle of Pouilly Fuisse) along with many traditional French classics made for a wonderful evening (we loved the Cassoulet!). As the evening progressed and it got busier, service slowed a bit only because there was just 2 servers hustling as fast as they could to service everyone while maintaining pleasant and friendly attitudes. We will certainly return and highly recommend this spot for a cool vibe spot in Paris that’s more locals than tourists.

We decided to visit Au Pere Louis s it was close to our hotel. When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by a server who asked if we were there for dinner or just drinks. If you are just drinking they want you to stay by the bar. We saw someone who went downstairs and was told to go back up because they were just getting drinks. We were having dinner so they sent us downstairs. We ordered half a bottle of red wine and then proceeded to pick out a few dishes. We decided on razor clams, rib eye and bone marrow. The strangest thing happened. We had one server come and take our drink order first but he would return later to take our dinner order. Before even getting our wine another server came and asked us if we were ready to order. We told her someone had just taken our drink order but she demanded our dinner order so we gave it to her. The razor clams were delicious. The sauce was perfectly salty and garlicky. The rib eye was cooked perfectly as was the bone marrow. Unfortunately the bone marrow and rib eye seemed to lack seasoning. The flamed banana was ok. It seemed like a lot of the alcohol was still in the sauce even after the flaming. The atmospheric was good but the service and food needed a little improvement.

Felt like a very authentic french dinner experience in a bistro/wine bar. Full of locals, cozy and simple ambiance, delicious snails and desserts. The main courses were also good. The ambiance of the neighbourhood is also lovely

Dining at Au Père Louis was a delight: the food was excellent — beautifully cooked, rich flavors and attentive detail. It sits on the pricier side compared to casual bistros, but you’re paying for the quality. There was no English menu, which might challenge non-French speakers, yet the waiter was extremely polite, patient, and helpful in guiding selections. The setting felt intimate and authentically Parisian . Top tip: The french onion soup here is AMAZING !

Amazing cozy restaurant near Louxembourg garden. Authentic experience and delicious food.

Great local eatery. Food was good and quick. All the classics great. Onion soup, escagoes, cassoulet.... Staff helpful. Been here for dinner twice will be back next time in Paris.

Great spot for fresh and well prepared food French food. The fish was done perfectly with the skin crispy and fennel and capers crispy- very good flavors and texture. the entrecôte was seared but rare served with hot crispy fries. The gnocchi cooked well with a beautiful sauce and veggies. Service was great. Fun and welcoming people. Really enjoyed our meal.

Absolutely amazing experience! The meat was outstanding — full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was incredible as well; everyone was so friendly and attentive, really making us feel welcome. They also have a great selection of wines that pair beautifully with the dishes. The place is small, but that only adds to its cozy and intimate atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Amazing entrecote!!!!! We had entrecote for 1, which we shared, along with the gnocchi and two desserts. For two people it was the perfect amount! The wait staff was exemplary. We made a reservation and showed up on time, and were shown right to our table. Didn't order any alcohol and it wasn't an issue. Just overall, a very friendly and welcoming relaxed experience for dinner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the best meal at Les Saisons! The new fall menu is outstanding — every dish was perfectly crafted and full of flavour. The pumpkin soup was velvety and warming, the braised beef chuck was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the orecchiette pasta was cooked to perfection. Dessert and the homemade bread - truly unforgettable. The service was amazing from start to finish — warm, attentive, and professional. Compliments to the chef for creating such a memorable dining experience. We discovered Les Saisons thanks to a recommendation from the Roger Lemaire Champagne House, and we couldn’t be more grateful. This is without question a must when in Paris. Highly, highly recommended!

A cozy quiet restaurant with delicious food. We went there without reservation and were warmly welcomed. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they managed to answer all of our questions about the menu and food. Definitely a must visit if you are looking for a typical French restaurant with fresh food. We had foie gras to share and it was perfect. I don’t remember the names of the main dishes we had but they were simply delicious. We didn’t manage to try the desserts but they looked very tasty. Overall we had a great experience and enjoyed our stay. The food is fresh and well seasoned. All I have to say is that this place is a 10/10

A dining experience I’ll never forget! The staff were absolutely amazing and made my wife and I feel so so welcome. The staff were professional, chatty, and the food was stunning. We’ll definitely come back and visit next time we’re in Paris! Merci Beacoup!

The most delicious French food and such lovely service. Really friendly, we sat back and got recommended / served the best food and wine. Highly recommend! Merci

Cute little vegan spot. Enjoyed the cupcakes and came back a couple mornings for a tasty fruit smoothie. Handful of tables inside and a couple outside. Very cozy coffee shop vibe. Staff was nice and accommodating to check on nut free items.

The avocado toast was perfection. I think I’ve never eaten a more beautiful avocado toast in my life. There were onions pomegranate and cilantro with Balsamico. I ate the whole thing in 5 minutes because it was that good. There was a bit of a language barrio between the server but it wasn’t that big of a deal.

Very nice vegan café with a great choice of foods - bowls, cake, sandwiches etc. The staff is very friendly and the place is cosy, so you can enjoy your food inside or outside the café. Defitely a must go, if you are looking for a nice Vegan meal during sightseeing.

A perfect vegan bakery! Overwhelming amount of choice. Super friendly staff, really relaxed vibe, great coffee. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious and so high quality. Honestly flawless experience. Highly recommend, an absolute must visit while in Paris! Thank you! 🫶🏻

Had the pancakes and the grilled cheese as breakfast. Was both very good and also the coffee was very good Took some pre-packaged sandwiches for later on, and both were really delicious as well

This place has amazing vegan pancakes, nothing in NYC comes close to them. When we travel to Paris we always make sure to go here.

Sensational fully vegan cafe with incredible macrons, cakes, pastries and drinks. They even do iced coffee. Clearly very popular and rightly so

The best fruit tarts I’ve ever tasted; love the baguettes as well, with organic Irish butter (France meets Ireland in your mouth-pow!), but the tarts, OMG.

Delicious !! Great selection of delicious breads, bakeries, sandwiches, and salads. Each more delicious than the rest. And the staff are so helpful!! Do not miss!!

Really great bakery in the 7th near Jardin de Luxembourg. Had a great sandwich and desert combo, with a delicious slice of rhubarb pie. Would recommend, high quality items for a good price.

I went to the bakery early in the morning for breakfast and tried the croissant and the cruffin with Nutella. Both of them were great. It's a really good bakery with great service and quality, and everything was great. If I lived nearby, I would definitely go there every day to take some food.

Best boulangerie for amazing fruit tarts and croissants! We came across this by chance and we are so glad we decided to give it a try. The strawberry tart was made with fresh strawberries and a generous amount of creamy custard. The tart itself was buttery and resembles a shortbread cookie base. The pain au chocolat was flaky with the perfect amount of chocolate. There are many bakeries in Paris, but this one was one of our favorites.

taste nice but unfortunately baguette was sold out 🥲

Love the baguettes! Especially the one with the local ham. We will be back.

Cute restaurant with plenty of room and seating. Service was great. Duck confit was so soft and delicious. The potatoes chips were a bit too greasy but good nonetheless. The bouillon soup was hearty and satisfied the taste buds. Very affordable prices :) Definitely recommend!

The staff were very friendly, and the environment was great. The seating is well spaced out, making it very comfortable to sit and relax.

Had lunch outside, very cute interior and a nice place to sit outside. Large portions and affordable food but I would probably stick to just having drinks here

Absolutely great restaurant with very reasonably priced dishes. The menu seems to be be typically French and I think we were the only non French dining there. The staff were super friendly. Food was traditional, and delicious. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to Paris.

Excellent food, and unlike the other bouillons we've been to in Paris, a much more relaxed, unhurried and spacious environment. The food is standard Escoffier - no frills but perfectly done. My companion had the eggs mayonnaise which was standard, I had onion soup which was exactly as it should be, a delicate broth, with well cooked onion and croutons. Her veal was the perfect combination of pinkness inside and charred outside. My boeuf bourguignon was the beefiest tasting meal I've ever eaten. If I've one complaint it was that it was so hot I could barely eat it for 10-15 mins. This is our new favourite bouillon, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Paris.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Prices are very reasonable. Atmosphere is nice. Food was good but not amazing - had the onion soup and herbed roasted chicken leg

The food is decent and served rather fast. The service was on par, the waiter was friendly. The thing that was really not OK was a mouse feeling really comfortable and explored the room, not even trying to hide. And it didn't seem to bother the staff.

A Timeless Parisian Gem – Café Procope Dining at Le Procope, the oldest café in Paris, is like stepping into history — and what a delicious history it is! The atmosphere is full of charm, with elegant decor that feels straight out of the 18th century. You can almost imagine the philosophers and writers who once sat here debating over coffee. The food was simply amazing. I had the beef liver with parsley, and it was out of this world — perfectly cooked, rich in flavor, and beautifully balanced. Every dish my friends ordered was just as impressive: full of taste, depth, and that unmistakable French flair. The service was warm and attentive without being intrusive, and the whole experience felt both refined and relaxed. If you’re in Paris and want a true taste of French culinary tradition in a place steeped in culture and history, Le Procope is an absolute must.

One of the most authentic and atmospheric places in Paris. Being the oldest places it offers variety of classic French dishes which everyone who is interested in Parisian cuisine and history should try. The interior seems to be the same as 200 years ago, it’s like a time machine once you are there. Despite the significant amount of seating capacity I’d recommend to book a table in advance, otherwise you’d need to wait in the live queue. Good choice of wines and desserts. Check the daily offer - it looks attractive

Sometimes you have to eat at a touristy place just because it’s the oldest restaurant in Paris. Although decidedly little French is spoken amongst the patrons, the staff are professional, welcoming, and efficient. We were sat in the back room on the street opposite the front door so it was quieter and cooler. Everything we ate was delicious! And a good price. This was our second visit and we will definitely return!

Dining at Le Procope was one of the highlights of my trip to Paris. From the moment we walked in, we could feel the rich history and charm that fills every corner of this legendary restaurant. The atmosphere is elegant yet warm — you can almost imagine the philosophers and writers who once gathered here. The service was impeccable — friendly, attentive, and perfectly paced. Our waiter took the time to explain the menu and made excellent wine recommendations that matched our dishes beautifully. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Paris that combines history, authenticity, and exceptional cuisine, Le Procope is an absolute must. I would give it 6 stars if I could! ❤️

We booked a table at 7pm but came early they were nice to allow us inside ahead of time. We ordered onion soup, coq au vin, duck breast, risotto, ice cream, crêpe and proliferoles. Because we were sharing the soup, we asked for serving spoon but the waiter kept asking why we needed it. He however gave us a serving spoon after we reiterated 3 times that we want the serving spoon. The table was by the window and they kept opening and closing the window so the temp wasn't stable at the table. The food was perfect except risotto that was a little too sour to my taste abd the crêpe that was too sweet.

We had a wonderful experience at Le Procope, such a beautiful and historic restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — especially the beef, veal, and tenderloin steak. A big thank you to Adam for his outstanding service and the lovely tour he gave us around the place. He made our visit even more special. Highly recommended!

I had a reservation for this place. We got the onion soup, escargot, sole fish and beef tartar. Honestly, the beef tartar was the star of the show. Very fresh and well-seasoned. I will definitely return just for the tartar. The rest of the dishes were ok.

We had a fantastic dinner at Le Poulbot. We had a reservation for 5:30 pm. The service and food were amazing. The French onion soup was the best I’ve ever had. We had bass, Boeuf Bourguignon, pavlova, crème brûlée, and chocolate lava cake. All were superb. I was hesitant to eat at a restaurant without speaking French, but our servers were so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend Le Poulbot. It was a wonderful experience.

The best thing about this place is definitely its location, right in the heart of Montmartre. Our experience, though, not as exciting. Service was really slow (to be fair, the place was packed), but it shouldn’t take three tries to get bread and butter, no? Food-wise, everything was just okay. The salad was fine, the escargots not worth it, and my brother’s confit de canard was far from filling. If you’re hungry, pick something else. The filet de bar sauce teriyaki was actually good, crispy on the outside just how I like it. The bœuf bourguignon was probably the best dish we had, though still not that impressive overall. I’d probably come back for a coffee and the vibe, but not for a full meal.

Wonderful - without exception. Bustling yet peaceful, indoor and outdoor tables available (October). The staff were incredibly friendly and so helpful. The food? Incredible! The French onion soup was deeply flavoured and garnished with a beautifully nutty gruyère, and the escargot were served in a light yet flavoursome sauce, accompanied by a touch of seasonal salad and traditional bread. For mains, the salad of ham, figs, walnuts and soft blue cheese was an absolute treasure trove of flavours (also VERY big! - I may order the smaller version next time), whereas as the beef bourguigon was slow-cooked, meltingly soft and utterly beyond compare. Amazing and well worth the cost, which was excellent for the prices charged. €90 for two starters, bread, two mains, table water and a beautiful glass of rich, deep red wine.

We spent 3 nights in Paris and ate here twice. The first night we had the onion soup and confi of duck which were both outstanding. The second time we got the ribs and the beef bougenion which were not as good. Ribs were dry and beef was bit of disappointment. However the service was great.

We heard great things about this place before coming to Paris so made a booking in advance - the place is popular so booking is recommended! We ordered the French onion soup, the sea bass, canard and cream brûlée ❤️ the staff were so friendly and the food was fantastic!!! Will definitely recommend 🥰

Amazing french dining spot. In short: amazing staff, amazing scenery and interior, amazing onion soup and amazing main courses like duck, salmon and beef. Special thanks to our host Sami he was amazing very polite and made everyone feel at home.

I had such a lovely solo dinner at Le Poulbot, nestled on a side street in the beauty of Montmartre. I highly recommend making a reservation so you can assure to get a table, but waiting is worth it if need be. The food is fresh and prepared with love, all staff members were super friendly and personable, and the French ambiance of the restaurant was charming. Prices were fair for the quality experience. The raspberry crème brûlée was the highlight of the meal for me, but also recommend the onion soup and steak frites. Merci beaucoup!

It's hard to get a table at this restaurant, but it's definitely worth fighting for one. We had a full spectrum of dishes, from fish to pasta, and I can confidently say that La Rotonde serves excellent food. Everything was fresh, fragrant, and served without delay. I particularly enjoyed the aperitif. A special mention to the chef for the Smoked Haddock in Cream and Butter – the waiter tried to steer me away from this choice, thinking I wasn’t familiar with the dish, but I actually know it very well from the UK, where I worked. I love this dish, and the French chef made it even better than the versions I've had several times in London or Manchester. Delicious. However, the biggest discovery of the evening for me was the wine. I really regret not writing down its name, but it was outstanding – a red wine (rich, bold flavor profile with lingering fruitiness and a soft, velvety texture in the end -WOW!), and by far the best I've ever had in a restaurant. I love sweet things, so as usual, I ordered dessert. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The Mont Blanc dessert, although it looked fantastic, turned out to be simply unappetizing in taste – this dish definitely needs improvement. I would have given La Rotonde 5 stars if it weren't for the dessert. I highly recommend this place, despite prices being about 20% above average – it's worth it, beautiful setting, professional service, and great food.

Initially picked this place as it was a Lost Generation haunt, a must see for fans of Hemingway, Stein, etc. Went on Sunday evening and easily secured a table. The décor was transformative to another time, preserving its warmth, charm and elegance. The food was delicious. Very reasonably priced (especially when compared to his other haunts, the Ritz :)) My one and only complaint was a couple with a small dog brought it into the restaurant where it sat in a char and then walked on the table. It’s unhygienic practice and something that makes me shudder in any setting where I am eating. Would still 10/10 recommend however.

Wonderful meal celebrating a friends birthday with close friends & family. Lovely wine list. Fresh seafood. Traditional dishes. Deserts were the finishing touch. And the staff were great!

Love that the restaurant have QR so you can see menu in your language in the website. Easy to order, quick serve. I had steak and fish dish, very delicious and fresh. The highlight was the dessert that I was recommended. A crisp base with a light, buttery cream, subtly sweet and perfectly balanced in flavor. Lovely restaurant!

La Rotonde is such a classic. The service is good, and the food is just perfect. The onion soup and sea bass are absolutely amazing. I also really appreciate the atmosphere — they’ve kept the old-fashioned design, but in a way that feels charming and timeless rather than outdated. Highly recommended!

Great cafe on the corner. Sat outside, had some wine, fries and a ham and cheese sandwhich while watching all the passersby. Wine was priced fair and good. The fries were great and the ham and cheese came on a demi-baguette.

Classic French brasserie, lost in Parisian food and service!! Great spot. Be sure to book

We were sited in the back room near the stairs to the restrooms. The place is really small and has too many tables that it makes it hard to walk or get in and out of your chair. Everything was in French and it was hard to understand. We waited like 20 minutes until the waiter came to us and help ya figure out the menu. The food was amazing, we had the chicken curry of the day and the steak with a special sauce and french fries. The creme brûlée was really good. All in all really good food, just would ask to be seated in a different area next time and have better phone service to translate the menu.

Great people watching. Fabulous onion soup. I’d pass on the steak frites… fries were good, but both of us got steaks that were not cooked as ordered. My husband loved the country pâté - said it was the best he’s ever had! Give the End of Summer mocktail a try - bright and refreshing, not too sweet. Espresso cake is like a tiramisu and super rich, seemed like it had a liqueur in it. Went back a second time!

i ordered a steak tartar and it is okay. the meat is fresh but there is not much in it . it’s €23 and the quantity is small. I am shock to see the comment from the owner and mentioning other country without knowing the country well and in a bad manner. i indeed looked at past review and photos and found out the quality and quality is a lot less on this dish than before. There must be a reason why they downsized the dish. I can comment on this with the restaurant country but i am not going to do that as that is cultural stereotyping.

Amazing Restaurant with a real authentic French experience! Great food and absolutely amazing service from our waiter Dimitri, the best waiter we ever had! We have been coming back three days in a row now because of the great service, food and wine at Les Philosophes!

Possibly the best french onion soup in Paris. Outstanding on every level. The floating island desert (île flottante) was a light taste sensation a perfect end to a meal. Service attentive and not in your face. Beautiful steak, tender and well presented. A must when in Paris!

My friend told me about this place and it was amazing. The French onion soup and duck confit were a dream and the service was incredible. Shout out to Dmitri for his kindness, wine recommendation, and attentive service. A truly wonderful experience.

Busy bustling little corner restaurant. Staff were very attentive and orders were taken rapidly. The bar was large and plentiful and despite the busy restaurant the ambience exuded a calm. The food was plentiful and tasted fresh. Whilst not fine dining, it was a pleasant experience.

We ordered three things, the snails, their famous beef bourguignon, and for dessert, the profiteroles with vanilla ice cream. The snails were soft, buttery, and kinda fun to eat. Not bad at all for my first time trying them. The beef bourguignon though… that was deep. Rich flavor, The meat was tender, almost melting into the sauce. I kinda wished for one more bite when it was over. Then came the dessert... the profiteroles. That one stole the night. Cold vanilla ice cream stuffed inside light pastry, sitting in a puddle of warm fudge. And the tiny almond bits on top? That little crunch made it perfect. Service was friendly without being pushy, and the place just felt cozy, very Paris-y in the best way. Would definitely go back just for that dessert.

One of the best food experiences in Paris! We had one onion soup, a started of 6 large escargot, steak tartare and beef bourguignon. All the dishes are extremely tasty, fresh and nuanced. Steak tartare is probably the best I had in my life 😋 they have a great list of french wines and desserts as well! Highly recommend for a lunch or a dinner. You’ll leave very happy and full!

Came here for an early dinner alone. Got a table as soon as I visited, without a reservation. Ordered their famous beef bourguignon, but felt pretty disappointed. While beef was tender, the stew was way too salty. This mask the entire flavour of the dish. However, the dessert- profiteroles was amazing. The server mentioned that the pastry puff was made in house while the ice cream was ordered from an artisan. Would return for the dessert, but not for the beef bourguignon. Servers were all friendly and helpful, which made the entire experience pleasant.

Excellent restaurant with amazing French cuisine! We tried snails, foie gras, the famous boeuf bourguignon, and duck — everything was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The service was excellent, friendly, and professional. Highly recommend for a true French dining experience!

Worth the a visit. I found it on IG. Went for a late lunch without reservations. Both host and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Their beef Bourguignon is a must. Save room for dessert. Both my wife & I enjoyed our meal and atmosphere and will come back again. Overall, an amazing restaurant.

Beautiful food, excellent service and a really great bustling atmosphere, restaurant was full but didn't feel crowded. The Beef Bourgignon was indeed a showstopper, and my sea bass with pumpkin cream was divine. Waiter was attentive without being overbearing. Would 100% return.

Oh my!!! This place can have extra stars ⭐️ ⭐️ for the best and most delicious dish ever and the awesome staff! The first day shared with my sis (yeap, went twice) their Onion Soup with emmental cheese and the Boeuf Bourguignon (beef stew) “their specialty”. The soup was really good but the beef stew stole the show, the meat is so tender pretty much melts in your mouth, the veggies delicious and the broth OMG so tasty, perfectly balanced flavors. To top it off, the amazing service by Victoria, she is one of the reasons for the extra stars. We told her we would be back the next day and it was her day off so she made us a reservation for a table with outside view. This one is a must have when in Paris! Thanks Victoria 🫶🏻

The restaurant was cosy with nice decorations. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. However, the food was not as good as expected. My friend and I ordered escargot and onion soup as starter. Escargot was not made in the traditional way with the green butter but a stir-fried dish with mushroom. It tasted weird. The onion soup was a scammer for that price. The stewed beef was bitter due to the thick overcooked wine sauce. The vegetables and beef tasted plain. I had a hard time trying to finish the dish. My friend’s burger was okay. The dessert was good though. Overall, it was not a pleasant dining experience for us mainly because of the food quality.

Good traditional French food. It’s somewhere between fancy and home cooking. The price is also nice for a 2-3 course meal. The servers are very nice but you could clearly tell that they were understaffed. They were working so hard but just couldn’t keep up with the workload and the number of customers. I hope the owner hires more servers for everyone’s sake.

This restaurant was recommended by our Airbnb host and is about a 10-minute walk away. Overall, it was average and a bit underwhelming — I wouldn’t strongly recommend it. The cassolette of Burgundy snails and wild mushrooms was disappointing — the snails were overcooked and lacked the expected tenderness and bounce. The parsley sauce was quite mild and didn’t bring out much of the mushroom or snail flavor. The semi-cooked duck foie gras had a decent texture, but the Sauternes jelly was overly boozy and overpowered the dish. The soft sorghum bread on the side felt mismatched, and the overall combination lacked harmony and depth. We also ordered a steak (can’t remember the exact name), but it didn’t leave much of an impression — not very juicy or flavorful. The only real highlight was the crème caramel dessert, which had a nice touch of orange zest. It was refreshing, balanced in sweetness, and stood out from the rest of the meal.

These guys put the trad into traditional, with decent food, friendly search, typical atmosphere and great value. Wednesday night dinner was a regular affair, filled with foie gras du canard, beef tartae, swordfis and Paris-brest, all of which were excellent. If you want a no nonsense, if not up-to-date, lunch or dinner experience in Paris, this is the place to go, even as a tourist. Recommended!

My husband and I visited this restaurant during our trip in mid September. They are open late and serve food late which is how we ended up going there. Their French onion soup is watery with no cheese. We tried frog legs for the first time and it was delicious!

The onion soup was fine. The frog legs and foie gras lacked taste, in my opinion. The beef bourguignon was really not good because the meat was undercooked. The potatoes were prepared separately from the beef and added to the dish later before serving it; therefore, they were hard and lacked flavour. The veal also lacked flavour. The duck was quite good. I would recommend onion soup and duck. I tried crème brûlée for dessert—it was tasty, but the consistency was incorrect. On the other hand, the servers were friendly.

Vibes are so parisienne you will really enjoy sitting there, i think i was unlucky picking a canard plate, the sauce was fine but the meat was chewy, dessert was not bad at all, other dishes of my friends they liked it, friendly staff

I recently dined at Le Grand Colbert. The food was absolutely excellent — beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Every dish we tried was spot on, which made for a really memorable meal. The only downside was the service. While our waiter was polite, it felt like the attention was directed more toward the adjacent tables. It didn’t ruin the evening, but it did stand out in contrast to the otherwise outstanding experience.

This classic Parisian brasserie near Palais-Royal offers a delightful dining experience. The food was delicious, and despite the busy service later in the evening, the attentive staff ensured a pleasant atmosphere. The menu features solid French classics, and I particularly enjoyed the véritable boudin, a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness and richness, served with smooth mashed potatoes. It’s a great spot for traditional French cuisine in the 1st arrondissement.

Well after few hours of walking in the louvre museum we decided to check traditional and famous dishes. Went without reservation. Temporary we were seated on the side while the table was prepared. Service and the gentleman serving us was kind and funny and attend us very often. Snails and frogs legs were great in taste and surprising we enjoyed it (did not expected the taste).The desert was great us well. Would recommend the place for everyone.

This place is getting high ratings due to staff and ambience. Beautiful place great waiters but the food let them down big time! We wouldn't go back. High prices for less than average taste and variety. Very high prices for food selections that had fries in a basket.

Great location with beautiful décor. The food is good. The air conditioning is a big plus in summer. Overall, a nice spot if you’re looking for a comfortable place to dine in.

It was my husband's and my last dinner after spending (literally) a lovely week in Paris celebrating 20 years together. I thought it might be fun to try the restaurant that was the preface for the romantic climax of 2003's "Something's Gotta Give". Playing an accomplished playwright, Diane Keaton wanted to celebrate her birthday at her favorite restaurant. What was nice was how this place looked and felt sophisticated and cinematic much like it was portrayed in the movie. At the same time, tables were not scrunched together (like at Bofinger, for example) and it didn't feel all that stuffy. What was funny was that the menu cover stated "Diner Menu", which made me immediately think of a greasy spoon although the term 'diner' actually means 'dinner'. My French sucks. However, my confusion was not fully misplaced because shortly after we sat at our table, a small bowl of freshly crisp potato chips arrived along with a ramekin of marinated olives. We started with our cocktail of choice, the 15€ Espresso Martinis, which we agreed were among the best we ever had. That might explain why we soon had a second round. The warm rustic bread arrived next with a typically crunchy crust and a soft middle which we slathered with their fresh butter. This led to the appetizers. My husband ordered the 21€ Whole Artichoke Heart which sat on a bed of arugula salad and was topped with a mound of Parmesan shavings. I had never seen a heart that big on a plate. Quite refreshing with nice contrasts in texture. I went full Franco and ordered the 25€ Burgundy Large Escargots. There were nine plump ones in my order, and they were thoroughly delicious and not at all too chewy as they were soaked liberally in garlic butter. The snails were too big for the fancy pinchers they provided, but I speared them easily with the cocktail fork. Our entrees were even more masterfully prepared. My husband had the 31 € Risotto with Crispy Zucchinis and Prawns. The dish was a creamy delight with five succulent prawns accompanied by zucchini and arugula. I went for the 33€ Braised Beef slowly cooked for seven hours and topped with braised carrots and parsley. So tender, much like an amazing pot roast, it could've fallen off the bone if there was a bone. It was accompanied by decadently creamy mashed potatoes and an add-on of buttery 8€ Green Beans. Discretion be damned, however, as we went for dessert. Wanting to replicate the near-perfect floating island he had at Bofinger, my husband ordered the 14€ Floating Island. The meringue was not quite as airy, but the creme anglaise was a winner. I wanted a showy end to my meal and ordered the 18€ Baked Alaska, a delightful rendition of the traditional ice cream cake. It was stylishly flambed with rum. Dessert engulfed in a blue flame is what I call panache. In fact, the whole evening was quite amazing. FOOD - 5 stars...classic French dishes executed with panache and satisfying flavors COCKTAILS - 5 stars...the espresso martinis were impeccable AMBIANCE - 5 stars...genuinely photogenic with a surprising sense of intimacy amid the packed tables...it's no wonder movies are shot in here SERVICE - 5 stars...attentive, responsive, and ingratiating TOTAL - 5 stars...if you're looking for the ideal Parisian dining experience, this be it

10/10 on food, service, ambience and vibes. From the seafood platter to grilled mains and dessert we were drenched in French cuisine. Also laughed all night messing around with the staff who were both attentive and hilarious. We would definitely be back

We enjoyed the dinner a lot. We were greeted with friendly servers and food was exceptional. The pan seared foie gras was in a generous portion and was so rich in flavour. The duck breast was also nicely done at medium. My husband ordered the sea bass. He thinks the texture was not to his liking but the sides were very tasty. Highly recommend to make a reservation in advance.

Dining at Le Comptoir de la Gastronomie last Friday was an absolute pleasure. Every dish was superbly crafted, showcasing authentic flavours and wonderful attention to detail. The ambience was elegant yet relaxed, and the exceptionally friendly and professional service made the evening truly memorable. My sincere thanks to the team for such outstanding hospitality. Highly recommended

overall, decent dining experience. i loved the onion soup and the creme brulee. the duck was tasty but a bit dry for my taste. even though it was tasty, the cheese platter was too small for anyone to enjoy. great charcuterie and hosts were very friendly

I’m expecting a lot more higher. The duck breast is overcooked as I ordered medium rare. Yet I love the pan seared foie gras , crème brûlée. And the pairing suggestions is awesome. Overall is good but there are a lot of good choices in Paris made the game challenging.

Truly divine experience. Had the foie gras and duck breast.. generous portion, mind-blowing quality. Service mirrored the food too. Victor and Adrien took good care of everything during dinner, with a friendly and professional vibe. Casual, classy place. A standout experience epitomizing Paris.

Best meal we’ve had in Paris! Tried their duck breast and foie gras ravioli with truffle sauce. Both dishes were fantastically executed. Duck breast was tender, and the glaze was so delicious. We devoured everything including all of the bread in the basket cos that’s how good their sauce was! Will come back to Paris just to eat this again.

WOW! What a fantastic experience. The place in Paris I wanted to eat at most! The food was heavenly. The service was perfection. Thank you so very much for helping to make my dream come true. We cannot wait to return. Truly one of the finest meals I have ever had. Bravo!!

If this is meant to be an experience of French cuisine, then you’re having a laugh. Tonight’s meal was easily the worst we’ve had so far in Paris, keep in mind that these places aren’t cheap. The tuna poke bowl was completely inedible, the sausage was barely tolerable, and the bottle of white wine we ordered wasn’t even chilled. Hugely disappointing.

Location is good, close to Louvre. Food is fantastic, one of our favorite restaurant during our short stay in Paris.

Price does not worth the food quality, steak was not even as good as a normal stake, tastes like nothing! Chicken was also not worth it! For these two I payed 48 euros! You can find better options nearby!

The best onion soup in the Paris! Delicious sea bass with vegetables! And tatin! 😍 owner so gorgeous person!

Staff are super nice, but patience is key here—long wait for food! Unique fried pork cutlet and creamy mash shine, plus the octopus is fresh and delicious. Worth the wait!

Just outside Bourse de Commerce, tables under the trees in the shade, delicious dishes, with an amazingly friendly staff.

The food was delicious! We ordered an onion soup and a Cordon Bleu, and both dishes were amazing—better than we expected. On the other hand, the service was really slow. It took 30 minutes for them to bring us the menu, and the same happened with the rest of the service. We had to wait quite a while for the main course to arrive, even though the restaurant had only a few tables occupied.

I recommend this place The food was really good and I loved how they made the crepes creatively. So they changed the shape, instead of the traditional round ones, their’s are rectangular and made so thin too. The service was Excellent by Carmen. And the price is reasonable too.

Great little creperie. We enjoyed our crepes and salad. Service was excellent and quick. Would recommend for a quick stop to refuel with some Parisian crepes. Lots of choices. The caramelized apple crepe was my favorite 😋

Sweet and pleasant creperie, highly recommend. Delicious crepes, came twice! Yes, speedy service too. Great for the whole family of all ages. Friendly staff, great vibes. Tried the traditional butter with sugar and lemon juice crepe for our first time. 🍋Loved it. 55% dark chocolate crepe- cuizel; also amazing! 🤩

If you would like to try some artisanal crepe during your shopping break, this is your spot. We tried Auguste (salty) and Cunegonde (sweet) crepes, both were delicious. The service from Paula was very friendly and fast! Totally recommended!

Great experience, they have a english menu as well. The young manager is welcoming and provides a good service. Overall most of the crepes were delicious.

Fantastic restaurant. Service was incredible by Dylan and Carmen. I am so glad we stopped there to have a Gillette and a crepe

We loved this spot on our recent trip to Paris! The crepes are really good and Carmen was wonderful!! We’ll be going back next time 🤩

This restaurant is tucked away in a small alley, yet that doesn’t seem to affect its popularity at all. We went there around 1:30 p.m. on a weekday, and it was completely full. The atmosphere was lovely. You can choose to sit outside, enjoying your meal while watching the lively street scene, or dine inside for a more formal experience. The service was excellent. The waiter who served us spoke fluent English, was warm, attentive, and even had a great sense of humor. We ordered several dishes: Foie Gras de Canard Maison⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ Rich and flavorful, with that distinctive aroma and savory depth only good duck liver has. Cuisses de Grenouilles⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The taste was somewhat reminiscent of a slow-braised dish, full-bodied and satisfying. The frog legs were incredibly tender, and the portion was generous. Fish & Chips, Sauce Tartare ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ The fish was moist and fresh, with a delightfully crispy crust. The fries were average, a bit on the soft side. Saucisse de l’Aveyron ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ A decent, straightforward sausage dish. Nothing particularly special, but solid and reliable. Crêpes Maison ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❌ Three soft crêpes served with two sauces, chocolate and caramel. Both sauces were rich and flavorful, though slightly on the sweet side. It might be perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth. Overall, it was a pleasant dining experience and one I’d gladly recommend to friends.

The restaurant has a refined and classy atmosphere — perfect for a relaxed evening or a special occasion. The beef was absolutely outstanding. Flavorful and cooked to perfection. You can really taste the quality in every bite. Onion soup was perfect as well. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and the staff made sure everything was just right.

The staff is amazing. It was our last night in Paris and he wanted to go and try something different real Parisian food. OMG this place is amazing. The service is amazing. We tried a few different stuff escargot seafood platter steak ribs chicken I had tuna cooked exquisite with spinach

My favorite place in Paris! They serve the freshest seafood I’ve ever had, with an incredible variety of dishes to choose from. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is simply amazing. A true gem in the heart of the city!

We went there as it was in front of us after a full day of walking and it was the most pleasant surprise. We didn’t have reservation but they were very nice and they found us a table for 4. The food was the best food we tried in Paris the two days that we stayed there.

This restaurant was recommended by a sales associate while we were shopping at noon. The overall experience felt quite similar to the French meal we had the night before. I ordered the duck confit, which tasted about the same as yesterday’s — rich and flavorful. We also tried the roast chicken, which was good, though not as impressive as the duck. Unfortunately, after the meal, both of us felt a bit unwell, so the overall impression wasn’t very positive.

We came for breakfast. We ordered mushroom toast. And we loved it. It was delicious, and the waiters were very attentive. The atmosphere was perfect. This will definitely be my go-to place next time I come back.

A good bistro in the centre of Paris. The waiters were nice and spoke fluent English. The selection of wine is decent to me. And the steak is good (I ordered medium and it looks like the medium rare I usually have in my country Vietnam)

We couldn’t get in to the restaurant we had planned. This place looked lovely and was buzzing. The staff were amazing. The food was superb. Very good value for such great quality.

This place was recommended by our guide, so we decided to give it a shot—especially since it was one of the few spots that had mille-feuille on the menu! I’d been curious to try this dessert for a long time. It didn’t disappoint as a first experience, though I must say it looks more spectacular than it tastes. We only ordered the onion soup, as we had already eaten dinner elsewhere. The waitress who served us was friendly, though she seemed a bit overwhelmed, so the service wasn’t particularly fast. We didn’t mind that, but unfortunately, we were charged for a glass of wine we hadn’t ordered. We only noticed after leaving, so we went back, and she refunded us. It’s unclear whether it was an honest mistake or not. All in all, despite the appealing menu, I don’t think I would’ve chosen to return even if we’d had more time. The flavors were average, but I wouldn’t discourage others from giving this place a try—there’s a lot of variety to explore.

Here’s the updated version with your addition: Vivienne Bistrot is conveniently located in the 1st arrondissement and offers both indoor and outdoor seating, including charming passerelle tables. The service is friendly, and the food is great. With an extensive menu, there’s something for everyone. I had the smoked salmon and the cheesecake tartines—both were absolutely delicious. It’s also a great spot for people-watching while enjoying your meal and conversation. If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by.

I came here to take a quick breakfast and respond to my emails but the atmosphere was so good I had to try their menu. Best cesar salad so far, the Millefeuille was delicious and very special.

Lovely place in Gallerie Viviene. Delicious food, good selection of wines, kind personnel. Best meal I’ve had in Paris during our stay. Thank you!!

Good food, POOR service. Waited forever for the duck, tall server kept saying its coming when it simply wasnt. Also forgot about the water completely even though we asked twice and he said it was coming

Have been here twice, once in spring 2017 and just last week. The pizza is pricey at 5€ a slice, but very filling. The "menu" is also a great deal--13€ for two slices and two sides. I was just disappointed that they no longer serve the pizza on the nice wooden cutting boards and instead use plastic trays. The wooden disposable utensils were hard to use as well (the knife wouldn't cut). Would definitely prefer real metal utensils. Overall still a really great spot worth trying and coming back to!

The best vegan pizza in Paris, delicious and generous. Shop is cozy, very cute decoration and staff really nice. Do try their cakes too !

I wish the pizzas were more filling for the price (either by adding more topping or by making the slices bigger). Other than that, a great place. Kind (English speaking) staff, more room upstairs, nice toilets, pizzas are delicious, there are menus available to get more bang for your buck, the paper tray cover has a very fun & informative quiz on it, letting people know why vegan is better for the animals and for the environment. I can really see this place expanding into an international chain.

Great vegan place, awesome pizza, plenty of seating. The upstairs seating area has USB charging outlets throughout the seating area. Friendly staff, would recommend to anyone looking for quick slice.

The pizzas were incredible and I wish I could have tried their cakes/cookies too. But it's mostly for a quick bite, it doesn't really have a restraunt feeling. Really, the sauce on my potato/cheese pizza slice was the best 'cheeze' sauce I've ever had. Also very affordable! Would reccomend taking a menu.

Nice place to eat with quirky stools, sofas and benches. There is more seating upstairs, which gives more space than expected when you come in. 5€ per pizza slice, 2 is enough per person if you're not very hungry. Difficult to match this price in Paris. It's a shame they give you plastic cutlery without asking. They placed it on the tray so it's pointless to return it because they would put it away. It would be nicer if plastic cutlery was given only if asked, although alternative options like wood cutlery could be used.

Best vegan Pizza I ever ate. It's not too pricey and employees are nice. Drinks are cheap too. Great experience!

Chez Fernand Christine is a true hidden gem in Paris! Over our five-week stay, we dined here three times, and each visit was a delight. The French cuisine is nothing short of perfection—every dish is impeccably prepared and beautifully presented, from the first bite to the last. The wine and drink selection is equally outstanding, complementing the meal flawlessly. What truly sets this intimate restaurant apart is the exceptional service led by the charismatic manager, Sam, and his warm, attentive staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like a cherished regular, enveloped in a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The team’s impeccable service strikes the perfect balance—professional yet playful, making every meal fun and memorable. This cozy local spot offers a culinary experience that lingers long after you leave, leaving you eager to return for just one more bite. For fabulous French cuisine and a spoiled-yet-fun dining experience, Chez Fernand Christine is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back!

Chez Fernand Christine serves hearty, well-balanced French classics. The French onion soup hits the right mix of onion and cheese, the bone marrow is rich and deeply flavoured, and the escargot marinade is excellent. Their signature beef stew is intensely flavourful and perfect for soaking bread. Portions can be inconsistent—our server noticed only one chunk of meat in our serving and promptly topped it up so it felt complete. For two people, three starters plus one main was plenty. Reservations are advisable. The dining room is very small, with tables close enough to touch elbows, so it’s cosy rather than romantic—probably not ideal for a first date.

We had dinner here on our second evening in Paris. We shared the warm Camembert with honey and walnuts to start which was delicious, we both had the house special Beef Bourgogne also delicious. The food, drinks, wine and entire staff were just a delight. We highly recommend having dinner here and be sure to make a reservation, we did in early August for late September. Bon Appetit Joel

Like the others say, it’s a hidden gem in Paris. Have dinner with family, tried the snails, beef cheek, pork chop and sea bass. All are delicious especially the pork chop, very tender and juicy. Have apple tart and crème brûlée for desserts. Love them both. In short, really enjoy the food, the atmosphere is good ,staff are friendly and helpful. Sure will come back during next visit to Paris.
